I'm not a 'dancer', not at all, but I do occasionally attempt a simple twirl at French country fetes; where no-one is expected to know any recognisable steps anyway.
In some ways I would liked to have learned a few classic dances, simply so I wouldn't have to be a wallflower, or disgrace myself. But it was not to be.
Of all the modern dances, I have always disliked 'break-dancing' the most. I'm sure it's all very clever, and difficult, but it does nothing for me at all.
However I do rather like this spin-off JumpStyle dancing (below). It is energetic, aesthetic, and exciting; even if I'm not over keen on the music. This example below is from Russia, and the business starts at about 35 secs. I don't think I'll be learning the moves, just give me a comfy seat and I'll watch from the sidelines.
Tell me what you think.
I have seen more beautiful dances than these, it is definitely something challenging for the dancers, they must be young and in good shape.
ReplyDeleteGood exercise. I believe it's very popular.
DeleteI need to sit down!!
ReplyDeleteMe too. I'll watch from the sidelines.
DeleteErrrrr! I'm exhausted just watching!
ReplyDeleteMakes French style "Line dancing" seem very tame!!
It's amazing how suddenly all that energy is released. Perhaps you could combine Line Dancing with Jumpstyle?
DeleteTeehee! Change rythm every minute?
DeleteNot a lot of choreography involved ..... there's only one move 🤣🤣🤣. I think I can honestly say it's not my favourite kind of dancing although, anyone can do it so everyone can join in !!! XXXX
ReplyDeleteI like the energy and co-ordination. If I was 76 again I'd be joining them.
DeleteMany years ago I could Jive, which took about as much energy, but definitely looked a lot better than that! X
ReplyDeleteI rather like the look of the above, but probably because they're all doing it in some unison.
DeleteI think you have deleted a post.
ReplyDeleteI have indeed. I was a little perturbed by the woke brigade who were defending defenseless behaviour. I had an idea they would appear, but that doesn't excuse them.
DeleteUnderstandable
DeleteMy feet hurt, just watching this.
ReplyDeleteMine too.
DeleteNot the type of "dancing" to do after a big meal!
ReplyDeleteOr before one!
DeleteThis looks more like an exercise boot camp offered by some gyms.
ReplyDeleteIt does look more like exercise than dancing, but that's probably a good thing.
DeleteGoodness, I am going to have a lay down, just to revive myself from watching. I can't dance , but love watching others who can. It is romantic holding a person in ones arms and moving to the music.
ReplyDeleteNothing romantic about 'jumpstyle'; more like punishment.
DeleteIt just looks like a super fast exercise class to me.
ReplyDeleteI should think that's how they see it too.
